Yeah I was also taken aback by the spare tracks on the front of the tank, but they look good along with the wooden boxes on the rear. The weathering looks very good and I like the leather look of the interior head pads of the cupola hatches.

Boy!

Those tracks on the front surely make this a very unique look for that Model Tank. Now imagine if an Abrams was rigged that way. Omigosh! Nice Job.

agree, the added armour is what drew me to the kit.... and if someone supplied me with an Abrams kit i would quite happily replicate this

Those spare tracks on the front of the hull really change the appearance of the tank.

Yeah, very different! Nice work!

more work - tracks on, more small parts on, found out I had only made 4/5 track runs for the frontal armour, 5th made (not as long as it should be) so needs painting... Not going for heavily weathered so matt varnish on body and the wooden boxes to finish

Pz III ausf A had 5 road wheels, then the B-D models went to 8 road wheels, the E model was the first model that standardized the Pz III at 6 road wheels.

quick bit of white, detail painting and grey scuffs... as you can't see a great deal I probably wont do too much more (if anything) on the interior, maybe some dust and muck around the bottom of the supports and box on the floor
